In this chapter, there is a story about the nurse who wanted to give more knowledge about diabetes and breast cancer to woman in black churches. However, she failed that she need a new context. After she found her maven, connector and salesman, she became success. After i read this example, i realized that in our business, if we want to be success. We need to believe that small group of people could influence hug group. Also it is important to choose a right environment. Connctors and mavens could also give stikiness to our other people.

In this chapter, it concludes the tipping point by giving 3 lessons. the first one is that it needs to make a small group first for making a big one. the second is that people must be influenced by the surround. the last one is that those people who create the epidemics are creative. and this chapter also gose back to the three roles in the epidemics. the maven are who can direct and influence others. the connectors are who know many thing or persons but not deep. and the saleamen are who are capacity to qersuade people do something they do not want to do before.

Not long age, a nurse by the name of Georgia Sadler began a campaign to increase knowledge and awareness of diabetes and breast cancer in the black community of San Diego. She wanted to create a grassroots movement toward prevention. So she began to convince people in the churches. However, people do not always looked at her seminars and there were just a small group of people who already know those two diseases watch her seminars. So she came up with a idea. which she can make a group of stylist in her seminars and began talking with the hair of fashion to the women. By this way, there were more and more people would like to visit her seminars and then they can teacher some basic information about those two diseases. Where the action begins: San Diego

This is the first lesson of the Tipping Point. Starting epidemics requires concentrating resources on a few key areas. (p.255)
To make a lot out of a little.
What must underlie successful epidemics, in the end, is a bedrock belief that change is possible, that people can radically transform their behavior or beliefs in the face of the right kind of impetus. This, too, contradicts some of the most ingrained assumptions we hold about ourselves and each other. (p. 258)
To have a faith in right direction them we can make trend. The epidemic consists three major elements, to determine the context of the message, the messenger and message itself are keys.

I think this paragraph is interesting because the authour is putting Sadler's stories into the over the course of Tipping Point, It is very much related to the some other stories in the book which we already went over

This paragraph also very important because this passage shows about the second lesson of the Tipping Point which is related to the people who made a epidemic is more creative than others.

"she needed a place...to hear something new."
REASON:
This sentence actually has pointed out the first tipping point we should learn, which i call it "it is possible to do a lot with a little". She just change the location, and then the event tipped. I realize that epidemic is not something people use a lot of human resources, it is something people just change in right way a little bit, and thing turns out to be sticky.
2. Page257, Para2:
"the theory of Tippung Point...to each other."
REASON:
These sentences show me exactly the way author want us to see how tiping point require, or in other words, what aspects should we look at in order to figure out the tipping point. It talks about the way we think about things and the way we usually miss or we say, the facts we are wrongly thinking about.
3. Page259, Para2:(the last sentence)
"With the slightset..."
REASON:
The last but not the least sentence in the last chapter, It is the one that includes all the contexts of this book, which is, if changing things in right place, no matter how slight it is, it will be tipped and it will become epidemic. recalling something i've read in previous chapters, i know that people are more sensitive to enviornment than they think they are. It is, to me, like something magic and very complex to describe in words. Every single detail would make us people atention to. epidemic rules are very unusual and couterintuitive.
